Fluffy green cap, winter hood hat for man and woman
Description:
Hood shaped cap with tie strings (the ear flaps can be fixed on the top of the head, à la Ushanka, or tied at the chin). The base of this light and extremely warm cap was crocheted using pure alpaca wool (Drops). Upon this base, all across the surface, a fluffy layer was added with the cut pile weaving technique. The yarn used for this purpose (Lammy, composition 67% acrylic 28% wool 5% polyester) gives the cap its unusual fuzzy texture and an interesting chromatic impact: a medley of black, greys, with a variety of green shades, ranging from willow, to olive, to dark bottle green. The cap is soft and utterly pleasant to the touch. Size: head circumference 58 cm. The fluffy cap in this shape and color version was crafted in a sole copy, meant to be a unique piece. Handwash in gentle detergents at low temperature (up to 30 degrees Celsius). Designed and crafted by: Alina Tyro-Niezgoda.

Story:
What if…?* we made a warm, fluffy, soft and light cap shaped like a hood? We started with crocheting a net that we used as a base for attaching thousands of knots made of fluffy Lamma yarn using an old carpet-making technique. It was important to harmoniously layer the mélange shades of the yarn while keeping the layers dense, thick and uniform so that the fluffy yarn would keep us warm against any cold. We added two hand-woven cords for the hood to hold better. It allows the hood to be tied under the chin, or on top of the cap to shape it like a ushanka. The cap is very light, soft and nice to touch.
For Tender December Slow Design is a process of careful designing and meticulous fabrication of unique objects. See how the cap was 2024 made: http://tenderdecember.eu/otulacze-2/puchata-czapka-zielona/
* Everything starts with a “WHAT IF…?”. This first, sudden idea stalks you until you finally give it some thought. Then you think, visualise and manupulate your idea; try to look into every nook and cranny. “To do, or not to do…?”. Then you sketch, trace out the details, set the measurements. Then you make your first attempt, draw conclusions, modify and refine your project. Finally, you search, match, try out, try on. Then you order, buy, collect, try out again. You check other possibilities, buy again, try out again. You gather. And plan. And finally there comes a day when you begin… Depending on the plan: you sew, spin, weave, embroider. Or you cut, sand, solder… Piece by piece, inch after inch, thousands tiny beads sewn one after another, yards of yarn forced into cooperation, fractions of inches sanded to metallic dust. Sometimes you botch up. Then you curse… and start over. You turn on the lights when it's getting darker only to turn it off again just a „moment” later, when the birds are welcoming a new day right behind the window. And then another. And yet another. Just before going to bed you think of new steps, a plan for the next day, you set out goals, as every second is at a premium. You think about the user. Will they understand? Will they look closely? Will they slide their fingers to feel the tiniest of detail? Will they notice the place where your needle lost the epic battle with a stubborn bead? Or the place where the warp thread broke and left your work in question. Will they feel? Will they understand? You give your work last finishing touches and there it is. It is made and it is done. The only thing left is to take a picture that is a crowning touch to your work. A few lines of description and you can finally take a well-earned rest. You can start answering your phone again, check what time of the year it happens to be, pet your dog… But whether you like it, or not, there is a new small “What if…?” sprouting in your head.
